Microtransactions Shop for SWTOR: confirmed or not?

If they want to shoot themselves in the foot, sure...

If i recall, they said something along the lines of "we are looking into it" a while back (before launch). Nothing since then though, at least that i've seen.

Pretty sure it was clear the OP was talking about a full-on cash shop, not microtransactions which all games have (remember Rift's 'spider mount' transaction for $10 despite their Trion 'bosses' saying 'No cash shop'?)

Furthermore, he was alluding to his/her own conspiracy theory that Bioware is intentionally holding back features in order to sell them in a cash shop that has no basis whatsoever.

There isn't any doubt that ANY mmo made today is going to be discussed in terms of a cash shop at some point as subs dwindle, even in the planning stages. That's only smart business planning so it is quite possible that a 'boss' wasn't on the same page as far as what info to let out in some interview that hasn't been linked for perusal and what was just for kicking around as ideas in meetings.

Actually there are many cases where a company has someone who has some initials after their names speaking about something and they didn't know exactly what they were talking about and it later had to be reclarified.

Pretty sure the title of this thread is "Microtransactions Shop for SWTOR: confirmed or not?", but silly me for attempting to apply reading comprehension on the internet.

Since you obviously have either infinite wisdom or ESP, do you happen to know where Jimmy Hoffa is and if Oswald acted alone too?

Since all my searches have come up with nothing conclusive I was hoping someone out there had heard an official comment (with citations) on whether BioWare officially intends on creating a cash shop and how soon if ever.

Please if possible try to steer away from the evil or virtues of cashshop or whether they'll result in a ragequit apocalypse.

I would really like to know if somewhere at some point there has been reliable word (which can be quoted) from on high whether this was something they were planning to implement or not. Up until now I've failed to find anything from them on the subject, which to me translates into "we're keeping all our options open."

The reason I ask is my suspicion that simple and highly desirable features are kept from the game because they are candidates for a cash shop - things like name changes, transfers and character customization.
